i have following method which works as intended i.e dynamically creates an
object ..
the method is :




private static Object createObject(String a) {
try{
return Class.forName(a).newInstance();
} catch (java.lang.Throwable e){System.out.println(e);}
return(null);
}




now i have a confusion regarding this:
why we are using return(null) at the end of the method .by doing so we are
having two return statements.
first RETURN statement returns the dynimaclly created object and the second one
is returning NULL . For me theres no use of the second return but if i omit that
the following error comes:

missing return statement

can anyone please explain this to me ...
